Unusual sights of Paris
- Monument to Marcel Aimé: presented in the form of a man (there is a similarity with the features of the writer), half-passing through the wall in Montmartre. Numerous reviews of tourists speak of a legend associated with the monument: the one who decides to “present” a handshake with a writer's brush peeping out of a stone wall will be lucky.
- Pere Lachaise cemetery: this is not only a burial place (the remains of Oscar Wilde, Edith Piaf, Isadora Duncan, Sarah Bernard, Georges Cuvier, Honore de Balzac, Sophie Blanchard are buried here), but also a large museum of tombstone sculpture, and the largest green oasis in Paris. It should be noted that at the entrance, those who wish are offered to purchase a map with a diagram of the location of the graves.
- Flea Market Saint Ouen: here everyone can buy leather and suede products, dishes from the early 20th century, beautiful vintage hats, antique lace, antique furniture, military uniforms from different eras, and other collectibles and antiques.
